Your analogy is pretty weak here, I'm afraid. Also, comparing it to your fly being open is just plain ridiculous, don't you think?
Lee Weyer, God rest his soul, wore a cool, white chest protector with his plate coat, and it looked damn sharp, IMO. Joe West cuts a nice look in his as well. I think it looks totally b*tchin that way, myself.

OK Steve, how about this as a compromise...
When wearing a Plate Coat, you wear a CP that has a fake Tuxedo Shirt and Bow Tie painted on it !
Just having a little fun with this subject.
Take care, and have a great season.
